Starting point is 00:01:17 Bob wants to live high as a kite and fears the Warhammer universes. Ha, ironic. From horror sex dolls to arsehole blacksmiths. Yes, it's time for Wade's Questions. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Distractible.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I'm today's host, Wade. Welcome to the show where there are three of us. One of us hosts. The back to Distractable. I'm today's host, Wade. Welcome to the show where there are three of us, one of us hosts, the other two compete for points, one of them wins, they host the next episode, and we talk about whatever we want, and points are assigned arbitrarily. I'm joined, as always, by my co-hosts, Mark and Bob. They don't have to be arbitrary. I just want to point that out. They don't have to be. They do sometimes. They're sometimes completely un-arbitrary. Like, you know, frequently when Mark does it. Well, that's arbitrary if they are or not. Even that's arbitrary.
Starting point is 00:02:12 But it doesn't have to be. Well, it is arbitrary. He's just setting expectations. I guess I appreciate the honesty. Fair enough, fair enough. Very blunt and honest here. I'm going to interject with my own small talk i had the most insane dream last night okay so how many people yeah how many people did you kill
Starting point is 00:02:34 uh honestly uh it wasn't me killing anybody it was me dying over and over very repeatedly i'm gonna write down because i it was so intense and it lasted for such a long time that I don't often do this, but I wrote down like my stream of consciousness from my nightmare right before I fell back asleep. Okay. So I'm going to read you everything that I wrote down here. So my nightmare was, and I'll explain this after I read it all. was and and I'll explain this after I read it all pulsing electrical buzz trapped in bed forced to live an almost video game like experience endlessly dying rapid-fire tiger question mark animatronics question mark not quite testing lots of testing seeing outside every time I thought about it the
Starting point is 00:03:21 buzzing would instantly return buzzing was extremely loud could literally feel it bright light sparking something else associated with it too can't remember only was able to wake up because i heard amy calling for me trapped in bed so that was my stream of consciousness so this electrical buzzer tiger yeah tiger question mark animatronic not quite not quite um so it was like uh this electrical buzz was the weirdest part about it this this Yeah, tiger, question mark. Animatronic? Not quite. Not quite. So it was like this electrical buzz was the weirdest part about it. This nightmare lasted a very long time. Like, I felt like I was in it for hours. And I was because I woke up like five hours after I had gone to bed for this.
Starting point is 00:03:59 And I was just stuck looping this. I would die. Like, I would feel like the thing is biting on my head and like ripping my head off and then i would wake back up in the bed and i would be stuck on this like loop but the buzzing like light was the weirdest thing because every time i thought about it it would like rush close to my face so i would forget about it and then i would remember and go and it'd be like this like literal ball of lightning right up next to my face that was like extremely loud and shaking my entire head um and then i would
Starting point is 00:04:31 have to mentally try to push it away to like just get away i couldn't physically push it away this would just loop forever and then some weird not quite it's not really an animatronic but it was something it was mechanical in some way tiger yeah kind of like and for some reason not quite it's not really an animatronic but it was something it was mechanical in some way tiger yeah kind of like and for some reason like is it a tiger and like but i couldn't quite tell um and it would just like kill me over and it was so fast everything was so fast paced like it was like death death lightning but it would last forever i literally only woke up because i heard amy uh calling for me and she can't quite remember but i'm pretty sure i must have been thrashing around because i asked her about in the morning she was like yeah i do think i remember i was calling
Starting point is 00:05:16 because you seemed like you were upset about something so yeah that was the most insane nightmare and then i continued dreaming the most intensely vivid dreams for the rest of the night i slept about 11 hours because you know i've been so busy during the week i catch up on the weekends but i slept 11 hours and it was constant endless nightmares and dreams and dreams and that brings us to today's topic for the episode nightmares and dreams we've never done this before so uh i'm your host uh wade and bob here are participants so i'm gonna be judging and they're gonna be getting points according to this i want to hear about your best dreams and best nightmares and i know your dreams fuck your night you were oh okay that was that was funnier anyway
Starting point is 00:05:58 no what were you gonna say bob no no no yeah now that i've said the funnier can you say what yours is well i was just gonna say oh you did one called dreams and nightmares well this is nightmares and dreams mark clearly said it's different title so yeah it's different it's not it doesn't stand up and we've never had like a game of throne style episode where uh literally just my throne was taken from me during small talk that was the first oh so it was yeah today's the episode where wade gets killed uh we kill off a lot of main characters willy-nilly no one cares wow sean bean is actually going to be a host for five minutes but he dies oh no and that's what's that thank you sean no for contributing and that's news to him i'm sure he just he just lit up because i said his name and he was all
Starting point is 00:06:45 oh i knew who i am well bob how are how are your life compared to mark's i don't get to have dreams or nightmares uh there's a baby that lives in our house and as much as i feel like i don't get to sleep he loves torturing mandy even more mainly because she's really sensitive to every time he makes a noise or anything she hears it and i'm asleep and uh you know so that's fair yeah he's inside probably screaming his head off right now because he had kind of a cranky morning and kind of a cranky night and kind of a i'm sure it'll be fine i'm just gonna stay in my office and not ever go back in there so i won't know what happens uh because i'm too scared to ask all right we're gonna crank out distractible episodes all day for
Starting point is 00:07:34 you just so bob doesn't have to go back in the house everyone you're welcome i'm just gonna sleep on the floor behind my chair when we're done so we don't have to record all day i'll just take a floor nap that's okay no we're dedicated now i kind of want to do other things kind of kind of got other things i need to do am i trapped here too yes this is distractible sunday is this like mark stream the more we think about it the more we can't leave and there's a ball of lightning in our face and there's a tiger. And there might be a tiger. Not quite, but maybe. Well, that's enough small talk. As today's host, I am happy to tell you that that is not the topic for today's episode. Oh, boy. But, in fact, we are going to be talking about how we, gentlemen, are getting older.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Have you thought about this? Do you feel this? Does it feel right? Ways on my soul every day yes it's like a great topic and i don't think we've covered that before so i mean i i went shopping the other day for the first time ever like almost ever for like a new wardrobe like i actually went and bought some new pants some new shirts i tried stuff on new so you bought clothes that are different than the clothes that you already owed you didn't buy more cargo pants no they were all jeans i got three pairs of pants i think they were all jeans i got some long sleeve
Starting point is 00:08:58 shirts some short sleeve shirts and i got some new swimming trunks i've only had one pair of swimming trunks that have been like usable for the last like 10 years the only thing i didn't buy brand new were socks and underwear that's because i get new of those every year almost anyway so and honestly that's the biggest sign i'm getting older ever because i don't think i've ever really gone fully closed shopping for myself i'm always like i like this what can we get you for christmas buy me some of this that's what happens yeah such an old person thing going to shop for new clothes. Yeah. It is. It is.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Clothes are expensive. You know how all the kids are like, I'll just wear this. Just buy me this. Give me clothes for Christmas. I love this clothes. Do most kids buy their own clothes? I would say most kids don't want to receive clothes as a gift in almost any context. I put my clothes on myself myself but my mom dressed me
Starting point is 00:09:46 my whole life growing up she went out and bought the clothes i was like y'all wear that i never cared can you tell i mean what just like the kids of today they're like yeah dress me dress me how you want me to look that's my preferred way that's what all the kids i don't know styles i was just like look i don't know so much better at styling than i would have been at the very least are you sure are you sure yes have you met me i don't know i feel like if you just walked into a mall and randomly picked clothes you would have a slightly more stylish look than what you usually go out with this is stylish look it's no i look look man bob you've seen him you've seen him you've seen him at like fancy restaurants you've got a seam it's got like a seam on the outside i will say crazy for me aside from aside
Starting point is 00:10:38 from the tux which i know that you rented for your wedding i own two suits i don't know for any reason that you do own any clothes that are nicer than a t-shirt and some cargo khakis and i'm not saying that i dress nicer than that what about nice t-shirts that's not as much of a thing as men seem to think it is oh i know that there are some t-shirts that cost more and that have more you know maybe more paneling or something or better better textile there's not a meaningfully nice t-shirt as I mean there are worse t-shirts but if you're trying to like look nice like Mark was saying if we're going to a fancy restaurant a nice t-shirt uh maybe you should do it maybe do you own any button downs Wade I do i own a couple i own a couple of like the partial like the three or four button and i own some full like button down shirts
Starting point is 00:11:30 with buttons all the way down is kind of what i'm talking about when would you wear those and have you worn them in so many times i put them on so much funerals uh-huh okay that's fair uh occasional nice dinner like you go to a nice like i don't know valentine's or birthday dinner when we go to oh you mean okay like date night okay yeah all right so i gotta i gotta interject on this because i'm like the whole statement that there's no such thing as a nice t-shirt i have to morally object to well come on t-, T-shirt man, defend me. I don't mean like better and worse quality T-shirts. I mean like if you're going somewhere where you intend to dress up,
Starting point is 00:12:12 a T-shirt is almost always a T-shirt unless you're talking about something like really out there. Look at this. This has seams on the outside. That's a T-shirt, Wade. That's not a nice T-shirt because it has shoulder panels that are different colors. Look, a raglan isn't automatically's a t-shirt, Wade. That's not a nice t-shirt because it has shoulder panels that are on different colors. Look, a raglan isn't automatically
Starting point is 00:12:28 a nice t-shirt, but that is nicer than say, a graphic tee. There's like graphic tees, and then there's like nicer tees, and then there are stylish tees. I swear to God, I'm going to actually collaborate with fashion YouTubers at some point because
Starting point is 00:12:44 Not quite. actually like collaborate with fashion youtubers at some point because not quite oh man all right why are you going to collaborate with fashion youtubers where is this going address me i'm kind of ceo of a clothing company um and I've been learning up as much as I can and no one will ever, I'll never reach the kind of knowledge of fashion, uh, that say Amy does. Cause Amy knows quite a lot about like that world or there's other people that know that world. And I'm, I'm learning that it is just as in depth as anything we could ever nerd out about. And, uh, as, as time goes on and I start to like get more insight into it, I do start to have an appreciation for better styles of clothing. There's a whole world of people out there that love clothing as much as you guys love video games, you know.
Starting point is 00:13:34 And they obsess about it and the different brands that are out there. And there are like levels and levels and levels to how to style and the trends and things that go in the high fashion and then how that passes on its styles uh into the the the mainstream fashion and then there's you know streetwear tech wear there's all the formal wear there's semi-formal you know all different genres like music you know you got different little genres of clothing styles and stuff like that so it's so much more in depth um but wade having stitching on the outside doesn't automatically mean that it's fancier. I respect what you're saying, Mark. And while I know nothing about any of that,
Starting point is 00:14:14 let me caveat what I said by saying, Wade, you and I don't shop at stores where there is such a thing as a nice enough T-shirt that it substitutes for wearing like a button down or like a nicer outfit if you're going somewhere fancy i will not say that they don't exist i went to an american eagle and a nordstrom i buy a lot of my clothes at like you know burlington coat factory and you know, like department stores where they have a variety of standard fashion things. I don't think they sell stuff there that qualifies as like a nice,
Starting point is 00:14:53 like fashionable, stylish t-shirt, but I'm not saying that that doesn't exist. That's completely fair. I just want to say that the two things that you listed, Wade, American eagle and nordstrom are so categorically different like they're so vastly different like i really really had both i i know because i'm a man what a cultured man went to nordstrom and you're like wow i have got nice clothes here and that's now been embedded in your brain i went to both and i was like i like shirts and pants from both i will try mine on shirts and pants oh my god i don't need any other stores in my life except american eagle this is a big step for me guys this is a big step this isn't a shirt that just says nike or a shirt that like someone gets me because they're like wait for the love of god please
Starting point is 00:15:43 wear something else this was me doing something for me i did it we gotta do a mini series called the fashioned man it's just going to be you if you said wait a bunch of really like high-end shirts that are very cool and oh no that sounds terrible send me expensive nice clothing for free. I'll do it. Maybe we just use some of the show budget. You know, the budget. Budget, right. The budget we put into this, yeah. We have so much production budget.
Starting point is 00:16:13 You can see it in so many other places. Maybe we should use some of that budget for some wade shirts. This makes sense. This makes sense. Our per diems, if you will. All right. We are not dipping into the budget i use that for meals we're gonna move on though because we've been talking for a little bit and uh i do want to
Starting point is 00:16:31 get to our topic today and we have a nice somewhat transition from mark's dreams and nightmares and then the uh genre of clothing tigers go on not quite but i don't really know how to categorize what the topic itself is i have some questions about different genres of game movie shows you guys can kind of pick and i'm just going to ask you guys some questions and you'll answer them however you want that was an elegant transition you're right well. Well done, sir. And may I say, your stitches are looking so fancy and fashionable. Just like I'm stitching this episode together. Tiger.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Wow. Is that Heather Gray? You know what, Wade? We're actually twinning today. It's hard to see, but this shirt is also one of that raglan style. It's just a really dark black and a slightly less dark black if you'd put a gun to my head and said what is raglan before today i would have said a character from raid shadow legends i that's i thought you were wearing
Starting point is 00:17:36 a raglan t you are not wearing a raglan t oh okay well i don't know what that is either that kind of stitching is indicative of a raglan is a three-quarter sleeve with that kind of stitching. Although it may be. Oh, no, mine's a sleeve. Can you have a raglan? Is that what it's called? I only know that the kind of shirt that I normally like to wear is called a Henley, which is a t-shirt with buttons on it for some reason.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah, wait. No, it is still a raglan, I think. I may be wrong about that, but I think that it's still called a raglan. Does it have to do with the patterning on the shoulders? Yeah, on the shoulder yeah it's the way the sleeves come all the way up and wrap around the back yeah oh i feel like bill nye the way i'm spinning myself around neat cool raglan way nice raglan thank you thank you i'm a cultured man and these are cultured times i i said you have a cool shirt do i get points uh yes one point to you for giving me a cool shirt and one point to mark for telling me it's a raglan i learned
Starting point is 00:18:31 something today i should probably keep track of points hang on uh what are your initials s and b b and m i'm sorry who's s s Who's S? S. S. S. You know, smark and bob. A B is just an S with more markings. A B is just some of an S. You know how letters are cumulative? How S becomes B. All right, your points are looking awfully fragile right now as you all make fun of me.
Starting point is 00:19:00 A B becomes D if the middle falls out. And a D is just an O leaning against a wall, really. It kind of me. And B becomes D if the middle falls out. And a D is just an O leaning against a wall, really. Like whenever you drop a ball and it bounces and it curves in. And a Q is just an O that stepped in some dog poop, if you think
Starting point is 00:19:18 about it. All of these things are connected. Mm-hmm. All of these things are connected. All right. So we're going to dive into the topic now. I'm feeling a little bit less self-esteemy. So I've got a few different genres here.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I'm going to ask some questions based on each genre. And then I have some general questions if we have time at the end. I don't really know how to categorize this. I just woke up and I was about it i was like oh that'd be fun to talk about let's start off with kind of the worst one but i think the best one to talk about because i think it'll be like a difficult answer questions are we trying to answer like factually correctly or are we trying to answer this is purely opinionated and you can try to justify your opinion sweet there are no facts required here is it like a speed round where we gotta like jump in and buzz in if we run out of time we will do speed rounds but really this is about discussion well we never run out of time i'll make my own buzzer just in case
Starting point is 00:20:17 perfect the horror genre horror movies horror, horror games, horror novels, horror shows, whatever. Scary stuff. If you had to live in a horror setting, which one would you choose? So if you had to pick, like, the Outlast world or, you know, aliens or something. Like, what horror setting would you live in if you had to live in one? There's not really a good answer but there's probably a worse answer right i feel like i'm i feel like this mark has an advantage here because i'm struggling to even think of a wide variety of horror settings and mark is we can discuss some i mean a lot about
Starting point is 00:21:01 that this is not really so much about competing for does knowledge does ghostbusters count as horror no i wouldn't say i know that the tone of the movie isn't horror but if you look at the setting of the world where ghosts are crossing the astral plane and and gozer you know is returned and all this sort is that a horror setting for everyone who wasn't watching from the context of the movie because i don't i'm just curious i guess okay i can allow it if we put establish some parameters like the ghostbusters were kind of like a unique crew right so if you think about there being like ghost outbreaks and horrors all you know all over the world and there's only like
Starting point is 00:21:45 a select few who can fight it and even they are somewhat like incompetent it'd be pretty scary to live in that world i could just i could see you justifying it and cop they won they won that's a harsh word yeah i figured it out i mean they did i guess that one has the advantage where most of the rest of life is still very normal like it's just normal that's what you're going for thingies open up and people pour out then you have the scary painting the sequels get pretty scary
Starting point is 00:22:17 you know if you see a ghost and you get scared who are you going to call it's right there in the song that's true I'm trying to think because like I feel like and you get scared, you get a call. It's right there in the song. That's true. I'm trying to think because I feel like there's certain if I'm keeping my mind in the universes
Starting point is 00:22:32 and I know about this as I'm going in, I would pick a universe like You're not a hero. You are. You plopped into the setting. I would pick either Jason Voorhees or Friday the 13th because you plopped into the setting? I would pick either Jason Voorhees or Friday the 13th
Starting point is 00:22:48 because all you gotta do is just keep moving and not trip. That's the only thing you need to do to survive. Your entire life is just keep moving. Everyone trips in that universe. The difference in the universe is a lot more roots. There's so many sticks. There's electrical is a lot more roots. There's so many sticks.
Starting point is 00:23:05 There's electrical wires running across every doorway. There's so many opportunities to trip in that world. And you know if you ever have sex, you're done for. Yeah, never have sex in the woods specifically. But there is a lot more boning in that universe, apparently, for some reason. So, I mean, you take the good with the bad. Just don't trip while you're
Starting point is 00:23:25 banging in the woods then you're good yeah okay yeah how horny you get when you're trying desperately not to trip all the time this just happens every time you don't trip your boner gets a little higher up it's like a little meter you gotta you gotta trip every once in a while to relieve some pressure it's either those are the only two ways to satiate the meter trip or bone it's like uh subway surfers but you know you gotta not trip over things but you gotta collect you know you gotta bone every once in a while so you can relieve the pressure and then freddy's behind you chasing you i think that'd be that'd be great yeah i picked that you and technically those two freddie and jason are in the same world right because they had freddie versus jason no not not freddie not freddie freddie that's i don't want to i have
Starting point is 00:24:13 too many nightmares freddie's i don't want to live in freddie universe wait what's friday friday 13th is like michael myers okay right right right no no the friday the 13th is jason vorhees well it's jason's mom then jason the rest of the way halloween is michael myers oh right finally that's jason and then halloween yeah but those guys they all they do is walk so you're gonna get in great shape you're gonna get a lot of action and you're gonna get real agile from not tripping honestly this is great is the sixth sense a horror movie no that's more of like a drama i mean the like again it's like like the world could be seen as horrific but it's like a suspense we don't have an example of that it's more so like there's gore ghost existed one kid can see them no one else really lives
Starting point is 00:24:56 worried about it yeah yeah well that'd be a great world to live in as long as i'm not that kid like big normal world all right yeah just our ghosts around uh i don't know uh yeah i don't know i would say like you're not bad right because you just have to avoid the one lake yeah crystal lake or space i guess or space yeah for jason x yeah dude that movie is so funny i don't generally watch horror movies but i've seen the one in space and it's so funny was that the one where it had the android with the nipples that fall off in the middle of the scene i swear that's the one yeah i don't remember it's been too long that's the one where there's like a holodeck too there's like a vr room and he and he relives he's beating one girl to death with another girl in a
Starting point is 00:25:41 sleeping bag at one point hilarious classic uh-huh who hasn't oh amy and i were looking through like the discount movies on uh some app i forget what it was but it was like 99 cent rentals and i love going through those because you see all of the b movies not even b movies you're c movies uh that are made and they're all these like knockoff horror things and they like they have insane names i can't remember any of them but they are all that just like you're boning in the woods when all of a sudden or is like you're boning in the woods and you find a spooky door and you're boning in the woods and you accidentally fall through the ground into a key it's like it's all oh god you're boning and tripping? That movie gets it. I know. It gets it really.
Starting point is 00:26:29 They know how to deal with their meters. I was thinking the FNAF universe would be terrible to live in, right? Which one? FNAF. The science behind it's kind of terrifying. But as long as you avoid the animatronics and pizzerias, yeah, you're usually okay. When's the last time I've gone to a pizzeria i mean do they not have delivery and like just get it delivered what if it's an animatronic that
Starting point is 00:26:50 delivers wouldn't that be more equivalent to going to a chucky cheese i go i've gone to a pizzeria and the not so distant it is well it has been a while but i would go to a pizzeria yeah if there hadn't been like a pandemic and stuff that sort of ruined all that well it's like there's nothing wrong with pizzerias it's it's the animatronics that's the problem yeah it going to it's fine if you're not a kid and you're not working there so long as you don't work there it's gonna be an entertaining show i guess no matter what or if you're don't be there at night yeah or don't be in the front row i mean you gotta have like it's the splash zone for when the bite of 87 occurs and if you have a really awful kid it's a great place to have no i'm stopping pointing i'm not however there are implications of like the soul uh the science
Starting point is 00:27:37 and like you know physics behind the animatronics even being possible and stuff so there are other implications other than the place existing itself but overall it's another place kind of like front of the 13th where it's the horror is contained to an area you should be able to stay away from i've decided oh i want to live in the universe of the video game we happy few give me the drugs i want to be a high out of my mind and live a euphoric life in that absolute hellhole and you get a cool mask yeah that's what i choose i choose ignorance okay i want to be i want to be absolutely blasted not know what's happening that's my life all right i'm going to give mark a point for good well thought out stuff i'm going to give bob a point for uh creative outside the box thinking
Starting point is 00:28:22 with ghostbusters and we happy for Few and just things I wouldn't have considered. So congratulations. That is like a horror game, right? I know it's really more of like a suspense. Oh, it's kind of a puzzly game. But it's meant to be a dystopian horror type thing. Yeah, it's kind of hard to define things that are like walk the edge of a thriller
Starting point is 00:28:41 versus just pure horror because that's what I was about to say. Saving Private Ryan is a very scary movie it's not a horror movie though but it has like some more more gore than a lot of horror movies more realistic stuff um it's terrifying especially that opening but i guess it's like you know but you wouldn't classically think of it as horror yeah that's just. What would be the worst horror setting to have to live in? Bottom of the bucket, if you had to be in there, you're like, no, please, anyone but that. I mean, for me personally, Freddy is up there. Not Freddy Fazbear, but Freddy.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I'm burnt. Freddy, you know, that guy. Just because I have a lot of nightmares and I just started with. What? That's him. I'm burnt. Oh, that classic freddie line i forgot about that one the jump scare i'm burnt freddie your other head has the claw i know i'm waving i'm waving my claw
Starting point is 00:29:41 did you know I got burnt? Anyway, it's the same thing as like the movie. There's a movie about a drone, a like flying like drone that got possessed by the soul of a murderer as it was running away. It's like, that's just Freddy, but with an additional step that he's in a drone. Or that tire movie where it's a sentient tire but yeah no that would be bad for me personally because i have a lot of nightmares so i'd probably be dead pretty pretty early on or haunted i figured how freddy works do you have to like is it because people believe that he's real that he's real is that him or is it just like he i thought he could just get into your nightmares i think yeah i think you have to like be aware of him or something I think I thought there was a
Starting point is 00:30:25 rule to it maybe there's not uh worst worst universe to be in though hands down is the scp universe because there's just too many horrifying oh well that's just a bunch of wild bullshit all happening all together I know but that's nonsense but yeah it's too much nonsense and some of the nonsense is like you you a million ways to die in horrible horrible ways and that's even where they're supposedly contained that's not even looking at the outside world where they're like oh yeah yeah well i heard there was some kind of breach yeah something like that what's the real world like it's just pokemon where there's just like scps everywhere killing people and like you have some kind of like security ball you gotta contain them all SCP somebody please make that SCP
Starting point is 00:31:08 go you just hold your phone up and augmented reality will show you where the terrible monsters are I am gonna pick and I feel like SCP is a good one I didn't think of that but I wait I had it no just no way that
Starting point is 00:31:24 you saying SCP just made me forget what i had settled on oh oh i should have written it down oh my god mark how wait i was literally about to say that a lot how did this happen it's in there it's in my mind okay the the the worst universe to live in this is not what i thought of but i guess i'm going to change my answer i would say amnesia universe assuming that you have to like be in the setting of the games it's one of those where the entire setting sort of encapsulates you know you're in like a big castle-y sort of thing area i wouldn't want to be in there if i was just another person and is that that's in the past right that's in like the yeah before times
Starting point is 00:32:05 early 1900s or late 1800s i forget which you know everyone drinks laudanum and tinctures the before times is that what you called it what would the now times be oh well the now times is like the 90s we live in the future the now times is the 90s yeah well time marches on you know what they say time waits for no man 90s was 30 years ago man that's the now times i don't think you can call that the now times we barely have the internet in the now times the internet lives in the future mark yeah look i mean it's like when i think when i was a kid this is like the a getting older conversation not to turn into that oh it's like it's always it's always put in perspective that when i was young
Starting point is 00:32:44 the oldies was like 70s and 80s and i was like man that was forever ago that's as long ago now as when i was a kid that the 90s are um yeah and so thinking about that with the bgs and what the the bands that my mom was always listening to on the oldies stations is like that's equivalent time ago those are the super oldies now yeah well those are classics now that's a classical era of music ah you have beethoven the bgs all of the classics the classical era betty goodman the bgs amadeus mozart offspring i don't know what yo no i swear to god that maybe i'm out of touch because i honest to god i don't listen to radio i i stream music who's not streaming music but
Starting point is 00:33:35 aren't there still like 80s 90s and now like radio stations or is that not a thing anymore is it like the 2000s the 2010s and now look 80s 90s and now are really far apart man that's what i'm trying to say no that's what i'm saying that's why that's the now times is then and now we live in the future now is not now times now's future times then's now i'm so confused look i had a much better answer for this question, and then Mark made me forget it by thinking of a better answer. On the line of thinking of amnesia, I actually went back and I relived through all of Soma recently. And Soma would be pretty awful to live in, if you count it as living,
Starting point is 00:34:16 because the only humanity left were people that were under the water or the imprinted consciousness that's put onto the Ark, right? So that would be a pretty horrible world to live in, because no one's really alive. or the imprinted consciousness that's put onto the Ark, right? So that would be a pretty horrible world to live in because no one's really alive. And if you are alive, you're alive for the end and you're alone and isolated probably. Or there's just an imprint of your mind on an Ark that thinks you're alive
Starting point is 00:34:38 that is waiting for a battery to die while floating out in space. I guess it's solar powered, but technology will eventually fail it. That would suck. So that'd be a pretty bad one but i guess if you're on the arc you wouldn't know any better there's some i don't know that's a tough question to answer because so many of the horror genres are contained to like locations or like experiments gone wrong but then you got to think like eventually that's going to expand out and like have implications in the real world so i don't know i don't know the answer but you know the thing about all this is that they're so scary i wouldn't want to live in these places exactly that's why it's like they're too scary what's the scariest enemy or monster from a horror game or
Starting point is 00:35:14 movie show whatever like what would be like the worst thing that's so hard because there's so many that can kill you fast there's so many that can kill you slow it's like i don't know what you would even call like the scariest i'll name some of the worst ones dolls a category that i would put near the top and i remembered my answer and it wasn't as good as i thought anyway i was gonna say chucky chucky has okay since i saw the the first chucky movie i ever saw when i was a kid chucky lives in my head rent free if i'm ever in a room with a little doll of any sort unless it's small enough where i'm like ah if that came to life i could take it if i but if i'm ever in a room with like a biggish doll or like a collection of dolls that is deeply unsettling to me and like
Starting point is 00:36:00 in general like that that movie megan uh which is not a doll but that's like a like a you know like a ai powered you know robot type basically yeah but like a like a big doll uh a sex doll i guess maybe i don't think that's what that was no that's probably not good since the doll is like a child yeah no no i don't think that's what i don't remember any horror sex dolls but there probably is one x x machina x machina would probably be in that category just because of like the creator trying to make just only female dolls of like ai robots and obviously abusing but also including like chucky and like annabelle and all the category of dolls that are possessed and or otherwise demonic worst for me absolute worst terrifying i hate it they can crawl in places they can get through things they're little but
Starting point is 00:36:51 they're smart it's terrifying and often dolls they have like supernatural qualities right like chucky is not like invincible but chucky's like way stronger than a little plastic doll should be chucky's capable of doing stuff that a little tiny plastic doll would never be able to do. There's not like the strength of the child. I hate it. I hate that. I would say the worst that like it's debatable, of course, but I think the xenomorph is up there from the Aliens franchise. That's the one that came to my mind. Yeah, because not only is it going to kill you, it's going to use you to make more of itself by forcing a baby into your stomach
Starting point is 00:37:25 through your face and then you wake up just long enough for it to explode out of your chest. It's bad on a lot of levels. Listen, as a dad I gotta tell you, you're missing out. The joy of childbirth is
Starting point is 00:37:42 My baby! Yay! Yay! birth oh is my baby yay yeah anyway yeah no i that's pretty bad yeah it's pretty bad yeah but i i'm sure that could be debated endlessly for a long time but that one would probably be up there because it can stalk you and it can it can make you terrified and find you and crawl into those spaces and you have to hide from it and then it gets you and then it's not over it's not even over quick let us know what you all think too i'm sure can i say also can i add one by all means i don't know how to categorize this but i would include things like the evil dead i guess like possessions but also and or like zombies anything where your family becomes the thing anything where your parents turn oh my god or like there's that there's that trailer going
Starting point is 00:38:32 around for like the evil dead the new evil dead movie or whatever where the kid is that like at the door and is like mommy and then on the other side the mom is like in you know it's like an evil dead i don't even know what that universe is. Are they zombies? I mean, there's also just the thing that kind of really embodies that. That thing, I hate that. There's a lot of debate on how the thing works, but one of the theories is that even the person who is infected,
Starting point is 00:38:57 because it does progress over time, they don't even know they've been infected themselves until it's too late. When you see it's like the thing, whatever it is, may take over at some point, but also it may be like the guy thinks he's perfectly fine until suddenly it's like time to split my face in half. And it's like, you know, so where is your consciousness in there? And when did you lose it compared to like being completely taken over?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Like that loss of self of not even knowing when you're gone versus like when it's taken over like that loss of self of not even knowing when you're gone uh versus like when it's taken over do you just are you a passenger in your own mind as you witness and feel your body i don't know it's all awful it's so unanswered and i like horror universes that are unanswered because your mind fills in all the gaps so who knows well good show that's it for the horror questions i have all right that's all the time we have this week I'll calculate the points to see who's won Wade put up a real good show but
Starting point is 00:39:52 I know we're getting older but I thought I was still hosting this one that's crazy oh i don't have time for all of these we'll go a little bit faster maybe for this round so similar lines of questions but let's go into the realm of fantasy i just recently saw the dnd movie i actually thought it was really really good i had no interest in good april fool's joke with yeah everyone thought that that's what it was since I tweeted it on April Fool's. But I did see it, and I had no interest in seeing it. The previews, I was like, eh, I mean, I like some of these people,
Starting point is 00:40:34 but I just don't see this being a good movie. And then I went and saw it because Jesse, our friend Jesse, actually texted me. He was like, let's go see this movie. I was like, all right, whatever. I'll have fun with it. It'll be fine. And I went and saw it, and I was like, damn go see this movie i was like all right i'll whatever you know i'll have fun with it it'll be fine i went and saw it and i was like damn they did such a good job i hope they make more of these like i i would love to go see this again and i was really blown away
Starting point is 00:40:53 um so shout out to the dnd movie i guess uh but oh i was gonna say like i also saw a movie this weekend i saw john wick four and great i saw great stuff but my god that movie could have been 45 minutes shorter like they i get draw some stuff out i get that they were trying for it but all those fight scenes great stuff i just felt like man keanu take a break good lord the man's 58 and he's still going for he does a lot of that himself but i'm like all those fight scenes could have been half and just take out some because i was like there's so many people just coming over and over again even i was recognizing like oh it's the same stunt guy oh that's the same stunt guy dying again there he is again there he is it's a john people don't
Starting point is 00:41:41 come to the john wick movies to listen to them talk about dogs and whatever. People come for the... I feel like less is more in some cases. They have some great choreography, but they did not, like Mark said, they did not need however many hours of just choreography that they had. That seemed like so much work. And it was like, even as a viewer, it was like, do we've been on these stairs for like, I don't know an hour or we've been like in this alleyway yeah no no spoiler to
Starting point is 00:42:10 everything but i did love some of them that they did it was really imaginative and i think you guys know the scene that was like really really really cool towards the end of the movie but it's like all of those could have been half the size and like all the fluff in between a great stuff it's a big story i'm all about like like letting drama breathe and letting the moments be and had good emotional moments but it's like like i could it could have been a tight 90 minute it could have been a tight two hour it's just i haven't seen it is it over two hours yes yeah i think it's like 168 minutes that's a little that's a lot of minutes it's a lot of minutes but still it was very good it was very good i got a few complaints but it did
Starting point is 00:42:51 seem a little lengthy and yeah a lot of fighting which is good but also you can have a little bit too much bringing it back in though uh fantasy worlds what fantasy world would you most want to live in depends on if are we the hero or what is the deal? I'm assuming you are not necessarily the hero. You don't know. You don't really know what role you're going to have in the world. You could be just normal character. You could be a hero.
Starting point is 00:43:16 You could be royalty. You could be, you know, I don't know, whatever. You could be any role you're born into. You don't know. This is about the world itself and less about your role. You might a magic caster you might have no powers it's hard to say for me there's like hard fantasy and then soft like more magical fantasy hard fantasy i just is almost indistinguishable from living in the middle ages and i'm just like why would anyone want that that's an awful time to live with plagues and not knowing what anything was.
Starting point is 00:43:46 So like definitely not Game of Thrones world. Definitely not that. That's fair. 100% not that. Because if I'm just not a hero in that, even if I was a hero, I'm probably dying. So it's like, I'm okay. So I'm going to just say that straight up. Ooh, but fantasy world.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I don't know that I would want to live in any of them. Yeah, I don't either. If I have to pick one. You do. I'm going to say because mainly because I like the show and I want to talk about it more than any being distinguishable from anything else. anything else i would want to maybe live in the world of merlin the early 2000s bbc series about merlin and and king arthur and it's and the story of their friendship and stuff it's a great show i guess i wouldn't really want to live in that world even as any of the title the the main characters but i like the tone of it it's very light-hearted compared to a lot of
Starting point is 00:44:45 fantasy stuff there's some serious moments but it's it's you know it's got some goofiness at least i don't know yeah i think in the same vein if i had to pick one it would be something more like world of warcraft's universe because at least it has goofy moments there's still like oh the world's ending but it's if i'm just if I'm not at the front lines, then it's more of a whimsical kind of place to be. And then there's a, there's a option to carve out a normal life, you know, normal-ish life without thinking that you're going to explode in any moment, even though that does happen.
Starting point is 00:45:18 But there's a lot of variety of different zones. There's a lot of varieties of different places to be. There's like pseudoscience where they somehow have TVs and cameras, but it's medieval times and there's a lot of varieties of different places to be there's like pseudo science where they somehow have tvs and cameras but it's medieval times and there's magic it's like there's so many different elements that don't make sense but somehow exist in the same world um that i'm like okay i could see that one yeah i mean that's a look that that universe is a little goofy because they essentially freaks a point where they just have everything but yeah but that is a thing you can pick so that's fair yeah all right what would be the worst fantasy world i have an answer for this and i think bob
Starting point is 00:45:50 you already named one but narnia i don't think would be terrible having something like neverland or oz existing you know i might necessarily be the worst in the world but there's pros and cons to almost all of them i mean it's really hard to narrow it down because if you don't know what role you're going to have in the world it's like well i don't really want to be that guy or in that place like i thought about middle earth and it's like most middle earth seems like it would kind of suck like maybe if you're like living in the shire you know just eat eight meals a day chill that wouldn't be the worst but if you're like oh shit i'm an orc and i'm born in morador fuck all right guess i'll go hold my sword and go die to someone else like i don't know there may be some bad rolls there but i already named a game of thrones that'd be an
Starting point is 00:46:28 awful place to live it would be an awful place that west westeros west all of anywhere anywhere in there west westeros yeah westeros i don't know game of thrones that well your westeros what you bob what would your worst fantasy i mean game of thrones is definitely up there i was just gonna say just if if i was self-aware of where i was and what it meant and everything i would pick lord of the rings i think if you knew that there was all this beautiful stuff going on i mean unless you're an elf i guess the elven civilization seems pretty dope in that world but like if you're just some random human or unless you're an elf i guess the elven civilization seems pretty dope in that world but like if you're just some random human or if you're like an orc or whatever like wherever you
Starting point is 00:47:10 end up and you know that there are these heroes who go on these fantastic things and been being all glorified and you have to live in what is essentially like the shitty like you know middle ages like low i don't even know the historical thing but it's like low middle ages right like you're like you were like digging in the mud like unless you're very lucky you're you know pretty low-ish peasant in a lot of settings yeah that would be that would be awful and especially if you were aware of like oh people love this franchise it's such a it's such a you know this high fantasy it's all this beautiful imagery i'm doing this shit farming goddamn turnips in the mud out here for nothing for this douchebag yeah it just seems like it'd be disappointing have you guys ever heard of athos no no so there's a tabletop slash dnd type
Starting point is 00:48:00 campaign pathfinders like a version you can play and they have like a setting called dark sun there's a world of athos which is just like a burnt world where like everything is shitty and all the rulers are like powerful necromancers and just horrible whatever's the average citizen in almost every part of the world lives a horrible life there's like a couple of cities that have like nicer denizens from what i know i don't know everything about the world but it's just like everything is hot everything's made of like easily crumbly material and people have like powers where they can like grow to be from 10 feet tall to 48 feet tall and just smash your house with a single swing of a hammer and all kinds of stuff like that i think that would be a terrible place to live and
Starting point is 00:48:44 that was the first one i thought of was athos yeah everything's very niche setting not everyone knows it sounds like hell it sounds like you're just in hell yes wait so i have a question because i don't know how these things work it's warhammer 40k fantasy it's more sci-fi but there also is warhammer fantasy and that would also be bad i would not want to live in any of the warhammer yeah no none of the war no warhammer fantasy and that would also be bad i would not want to live in any of the warhammer yeah no none of the war no warhammer settings for me ever those are all awful places yeah there is still the warp in fantasy there is still like chaos in fantasy there's still all the horrible factions in in warhammer fantasy yeah that would be pretty i think recently in warhammer fantasy
Starting point is 00:49:20 the entire universe exploded um so that was also not good for everybody who lived there oh that sounds awful yeah it was pretty bad but thanks sigmar you know he pulled it all back together you know um what do you even do you let we put like boards over your windows like how do you prepare for the universe explode sandbags like what do you do i think you go and you bone and trip some and then just wait for the you just spend your time boning and tripping through the universe. As the universe is walking slowly behind you, you just bone and trip as you try to escape. Oh, God, it's coming for me.
Starting point is 00:49:55 You killed him. You just keep tripping, and Jason is right behind you. And you look back, and you're like, man, the universe. Really? And he's like oh yeah no that's how he talks right man oh yeah his classic voice lines i'm tired of these damn kids boning in my damn crystal lake woods and that's it he's just an old angry old man i'm tired of these kids boning on my lake they're scaring away all the fish quit trip quit tripping on my lawn i have one last fantasy question and then we can move on a little bit we don't have a ton of time but assuming you did get to choose at least your class in a fantasy setting what class would you
Starting point is 00:50:45 want to play as or live as i guess in this case are we talking standard classes or are we expanding sure i mean you can name whatever you want to but in my brain i'm thinking like warrior rogue mage stuff yeah something like that but you can expand on it if you want to you can be a little more specific i already know i know exactly what i would want to be but i would want to be and this is not like a playable class so maybe i'm bending the rules but i would want to be blacksmith slash armorer slash guy who sells weapons and or things to the party who lives in a nice place who's not an npc okay has terrible things happening to them blacksmiths in this setting are always badasses they always have stories but they don't have to do shit people respect them
Starting point is 00:51:31 and they don't steal from them or do it and they're always they're just running their business origin that would probably be some kind of warrior build right because you have either a high strength or dex in order to forge you probably have a pretty high constitution for stamina and you'd have to have some level of charisma to make sales well it'd be like a warrior who like cracked up their intelligence too right because you understand metallurgy and and how how to forge things to form the crystalline structure of the metal to make it good blah blah blah i suppose you have to have at least a base level intelligence but it depends on the system if you need it i mean you could say you need at least like a on a 20 system you'd need at least like a 12 right probably i would
Starting point is 00:52:10 assume a little bit of intelligence a little bit of charisma and a lot of strength or decks and a lot of con that's what i we sound like really big nerds right now yeah you're i don't know what you're talking about let's say we yeah we who do you mean he's a blacksmith what are you talking about charisma are we rolling our stats here i don't know i feel like blacksmiths don't even need charisma they're just charming even if they're completely insufferable a-holes because you need the blacksmith right you can't be like ah you suck like fine no sword for you then i guess huh yeah it really just depends on the type of universe you're in because i would say like probably whatever magic using class you would
Starting point is 00:52:51 have if you had to pick a class like major wizard or whatever but it depends on the setting if you're in like the witcher like in the tv show remember a lot of spoilers a little bit but remember them they just started catapulting the mages like they turned them into fireballs and so like you're up next like oh man that sucks um but usually usually if you if you are in the magic you you tap into like the mysteries of the universe and all that jazz. So I guess. But in all honesty, I just keep me... Bob's answer was good.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I'll be the town alchemist in that. You be the blacksmith. I'll be the alchemist. And I'll just make all the potions and sell them for big, big bucks. If we're forming a party, I'm probably going tank. I'm not going to be in your party. I don't want to be in your party. I'm not an adventurer. I don't want to be an adventurer okay i'm not an adventurer i don't want to be an adventurer i'm not in your party well i was
Starting point is 00:53:47 thinking most people would want to like deal a lot of damage and maybe some people be like no i'll stay back and be the healer that way if i get hurt i can heal myself it's like i'm not i'll be the dude that can take a beating at least so then someone else will heal me but all right i guess i'm alone so i'm not better buy some good armor and potions from us if you're going out there because we're not coming with you. Well, you know I'm fighting to defend the city. You guys can't give me a deal? Nah, I'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:54:10 And not my ex. Sorry. That's a different guy. Yeah, no, I've never been into power fantasy. Like, anytime I've ever played, I've always volunteered to be like the meek character or like the the just normal everybody that's why i made stan the waterman in gtr because i don't care about being a crime lord or a cop i had norm l guy so i feel yeah i feel like it's so much better just to be the normal dude in this watching everyone else because then you can just be like the regular character who like juxtaposes all the insanity around you and i find that's a very fun place to be so yeah i'll be the weird alchemist potions that's who i want to be well thank you guys for
Starting point is 00:54:52 not answering the question of what class you would choose but i appreciate the honest answer i feel like we both gave great answers i feel like we were very great answers but it's not really a class i will award you five points i feel like that was fantastic how many points do you think i i earned uh your answer was uh it followed mine so it's not very fair but it's related i'll give you four points i'll take that that was that was a good that's fair even i don't think wade gets any points yeah wade doesn't get any points yeah okay fair enough a little bit of a speed round here we don't have to go too much in depth we're sci-fi world, is it Warhammer? Warhammer 40K, hands down.
Starting point is 00:55:28 There is no other answer. Yes. Okay. Best sci-fi world. Oh, yeah. Oh. Is there one? I feel like the best sci-fi world is what I'm not aware of where humans don't exist
Starting point is 00:55:41 or something. Star Wars, Star Trek, none of those are very good. Mass Effect would be fun. Mass Effect. humans don't exist or something star wars star trek none of those are very good mass problem the problem with sci-fi worlds is always that humans exist and they ruin it mass effects cool but i don't know man that's a pretty scary universe too think of all the aliens you could bone and all the things you can't trip over everything's sleek metal it's just bone and no tripping it's great but the reapers are going to come in the collector. Yeah, we don't know, but they don't exist. What are you talking about, man? It's not happening.
Starting point is 00:56:07 We do know. Best sci-fi. If I could be a guardian, Destiny. Because then you can't die. So that's fine. As long as there's nobody stealing your light and whatnot. Yeah. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And you got all the loot. Infinite loot. Everything you kill just drops stuff and you can have it. That'd be fun. That'd be fun. In just a normal life setting, let's fast forward like 300 years and assume humanity's still doing okay if you had to choose to live on a new planet in like a bigger better fancier space station than what currently exists or on earth which of those three would you rather live on space station am i taking myself and i'm going there because yeah i would do it just for the variety yeah space station or new planet just for a new experience yeah i would probably have to go with new planet also
Starting point is 00:56:51 space station sounds cool but there's too many like the entire thing explodes type scenarios and maybe it's a future where it's a little more stable than that but that space station just seems tenuous new planet comes with its own issues i always envision like firefly kind of universe about new planets where it's like it's kind of the wild west there's all these like weird diseases and stuff but like you everyone just is fighting to make it work and i would go for that i guess i'm assuming earth is totally fucked at this point if we're that far in the future there's no way earth is a pleasant place to it's not going great anyway i don't see 300 years in the future earth going real good so i would yeah i'd go new planet mark's right mark's right thanks thank you if earth was in the same condition i would stay here i know i like things here i know i can breathe here i know i can
Starting point is 00:57:33 eat good food here there's there's no chance i would probably take no shot i'd probably take space station otherwise i don't know self-preservation tells me new world unknown threats let it give it a while to figure it all out first let someone else be the explorer then i'll go once it's safe all right well kind of a kind of a timid answer but i'll accept it i accept your reason i'm just being honest i'm a big bitch baby and i don't want to i gave you three points for that one and i think mark uh two points for a new plan thank you same thing as me yeah appreciate it he said space station i thought but well i said either were but i kind of would trend towards new plans just because i feel like there's more opportunity
Starting point is 00:58:07 to explore yeah so you changed your answer two points i guess i thought you concluded the new planet would be more interesting yeah i was kind of i was kind of covering the spread there and i didn't really like put all on one so your answer was all of the above which uh honestly sometimes it's the right answer sometimes some more quick fires here real quick before we wrap up which npc from uh or you know side character would you most trust to have your back from either game show movie whatever like you're like i want that person not a main character you can't pick like ripley from aliens but like which side character or ally or whatever would you choose i mean rex from mass effect is it would be a good choice if he's always got my back you know rex he's just the big krogan would you trust him to always have your back
Starting point is 00:58:50 that's part of the question oh would i trust him yeah if he was on my team i'm not i mean like apart from like us parting ways down the road if he was on my team yeah i'd want i'd want a krogan you'd want a krogan ally that makes yeah i could yeah that would be good yeah the math mass effects good because you like you have your crew is like nothing but side characters see i was thinking i think bob seems like you're thinking so i'll give my i was thinking garris from mass effect because garris is always pretty much agreeable he's a skilled fighter but he's also like he's just always a no matter what shepherd does he's like dude i'm your ally i got your back man it's fine yeah i always had garris on my team i was literally thinking garris but then mark pick rex and i was like well can i think of something i don't agree i try and get
Starting point is 00:59:34 away from mass effect i just i i initially thought garris because garris is really chill good one point for thinking the same as me i would want wreck it ralph on my team isn't he a main character though ah he is the main i mean is fix it felix can he be on my team because i like i feel like that's side character enough okay i feel like his his hammer that fixes everything really nice very useful yeah that's pretty good i i just like that universe especially the in a sci-fi setting. If you could just fix everything with a hammer, bam. I know, that'd be sick. I would rather have Ralph because I like him more. Felix is a little bit of a prick sometimes,
Starting point is 01:00:12 but I would pick Felix too. The hammer's nice. What enemy from any genre would you least like to face or see in real life? Oh, wait, I have another answer for my backup one. This is a really niche one, just real quick. It's J jurgen from the caiaphas kane novels in 40k and not accompanying being in 40k he stinks but god is he useful
Starting point is 01:00:33 oh and hyper loyal like hyper loyal will get you whatever you need it's just that he smells real bad um that's the only downside but in the books it is like incredibly useful especially if you are in that universe there's multiple reasons why he's there anyway that's it only downside but in the books it is like incredibly useful especially if you are in that universe there's multiple reasons why he's there anyway that's it moving on worst enemy from any genre i'm gonna say this is this is within the context of the universe and i'm i'm filling in a lot of information with my mind the invasion fleet from space invaders assuming that our our defense is several easily destructible blocks of shields and one ship that shoots one missile at a time just standing on the ground and they're like going back and forth and you're like jesus like land or whatever like what the hell they're not
Starting point is 01:01:21 even shooting back they're just slowly advancing in in the reality of that if i was like a person on the ground watching that or if i was the one crew of the ship that was fighting back nightmares terrifying mart oh worst xenomorph didn't i say this one already well when we talk about like sci-fi stuff i think but like this is from any genre so you can pick like any of the 5e enemies any of the horror enemies any any of the... It's a long list. I choose Nurgle from 40k because he's the god of decay and everything about it is awful. Yuck. Would it actually suck to be a main character?
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yes. Yeah, but also no. Well, then that's the question. Final answer locked in. I need no explanation. I think everyone thinks they want to be a main character. And I think everyone feels like they are. But I think the actual shit that happens to a lot of main characters in a lot of stories is way beyond what happens to a normal person over the course of their life.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Yeah. And the pressure put on you. Everyone like depending on you for everything all the time. Like no one's ever competent to get anything done outside of like you doing it. It would not be a good life that's like anxiety disorders like never sleeping again panic attacks constant stress and agony and terrible stuff happening though there is probably probably people that want to step into that role like that would could live that like they're wanting to succeed or adventure whatever could outweigh that but i think that'd be a niche life i think the thing about storytelling too that a lot of that gets skipped over a lot is there's a lot
Starting point is 01:02:48 of intermediary shit that happens the story shows you the hero emerging the huge tragedy whatever and then them overcoming it and them ultimately succeeding or whatever happens shows you all these moments there are sometimes like weeks years decades in between the unbelievable tragedy and everything that follows and then getting redeemed or in any way feeling better about it i think being the main character mostly involves a lot of suffering that no one gives a shit about and no one ever gets to see in the movie or the game or whatever that is misery and creates the pressure that that individual feels that they need to succeed because everything leading up to that point has been such a miserable punishing sad depressing whatever thing that they get to a moment where they can turn it around and they're like i have to
Starting point is 01:03:38 i have to do it yeah i'm all about that i think that'd be cool though i'm i'm all for like purposeful even through misery so yeah i would be okay with it i think that'd be cool though i'm i'm all for like purposeful even through misery so yeah i would be okay with it i think it would be awful but yes but also no so yeah that was my original answer yes but also no because i'm all about having purpose at least you're consistent well thank you guys i i had a few more but i think feel like this is probably a good wrapping point we've done a lot of questions so thank you all i i had a few more but i think feel like this is probably a good wrapping point we've done a lot of questions so thank you all for indulging me let me tabulate the points here did you actually write down points i don't remember what you guys lost points for early on
Starting point is 01:04:14 but i have a minus one for something for both of you i don't remember why but how dare you have done that to earn those i don't recall you telling us that we lost yeah i don't recall it either i don't either but there's a negative one right at the beginning so you guys must have done something to deserve maybe it's when you hijacked the episode i don Yeah, I don't recall it either. I don't either, but there's a negative one right at the beginning. So you guys must have done something to deserve. Maybe it's when you hijacked the episode. I don't remember. I don't think so. But in any case, am I allowed to declare the winner? Or do you guys have to declare the winner since you guys have stole my hosting?
Starting point is 01:04:34 I think for this once, we can let Wade declare it. He never gets to, so I think it's only fair. Go ahead, I guess. Yeah, we'll allow it. All right, well, I have reservations about how the points ended up but in the end Mark you have two more points than Bob wait I always celebrate
Starting point is 01:04:52 and then somehow over the last few episodes I've celebrated and then I've had to take back my celebration so I'm gonna be tempered about this one does that mean that he wins? he is our main character. He wins.
Starting point is 01:05:06 I should have just answered all of the above to every question to get more points. It was not the last question that got him all these points. He did that multiple times. Yes and no and maybe is my answer to every question. Two times.
Starting point is 01:05:21 That's multiple. There were certainly some spots that were weaker than others but i don't know i don't remember how i added all the points up i just put them down as i was we were going and he ended up with two more i'm sorry until i get my until i get a winner speech i'm not gonna celebrate all right okay bob would you like to give the loser speech not really no but uh thank you for your honesty i appreciate that i'll give you one point i i'm gonna go ahead and pass on that i guess you know what i feel like i was put at a distinct disadvantage because this episode involved knowing things that i don't know and particularly horror
Starting point is 01:05:56 i don't watch horror movies i don't play horror games were creative and interesting yeah that's because i don't know any actual horror things. I was struggling to think of any characters and any things in the settings of horror. You did good! Not good enough! I did bad! I'm sorry you didn't win! Not winning doesn't mean did bad! For all my efforts,
Starting point is 01:06:18 I might as well not have competed! I came in the same position as a person who was dead the entire episode! Last! Okay, I came in the same position as a person who was dead the entire episode Last Okay, that's cruel because you did better than me You're not even competing I could be, I'm the host Well, how many points did you get?
Starting point is 01:06:37 Am I still in last? Actually, I did get some points because you and Mark both gave me points at different spots And you beat me You probably won the episode. We gave you like tons of points. Well, maybe I gave you tons of points. I don't know. You never really said anything. You guys had
Starting point is 01:06:53 13 and 11. 12 because I gave you a point for a minute ago. I think I had like 6 that you guys gave me. So it was 13, 11 to 6. That might be true. That's nice. Okay. Well, then I didn't come in last. Alright, I feel way better about this. Great.
Starting point is 01:07:09 I may be the loser between me and Mark, but at least I'm not the biggest loser. Hell yeah. That's my speech. Mark? Winner's speech? Yes. Okay. I have my winner's speech. I still have suspicions about everything because I have suspicions just for how many times I've been hurt. Wait! We have aicions about everything because I have suspicions just
Starting point is 01:07:25 for how many times I've been hurt wait we have a surprise bonus no I'm just kidding Mark I was so ready for it I was just ready for it I was like it's gonna happen don't play with my heart like that I would like to wrap it up quickly to say
